Now that we have a basic understanding of how to connect roads and simple decorations for them. Lets focus on some advanced items using the Road
item type.
Bridges
1

|
Using our example map, place a road and edit the properties to set the road look, variant, and set the terrain size to 0 meters
|

|
|
Go to railings tab, and pick a nice bridge model
- Here is what we are using:
/model2/railing/bridge/shared_simple.pmd
Take note of the road edge material and terrain material (these are necessary with most models to have nice looking edges)

Allign your bridge to make it look nice and to fit with the area
TIP: You can use a marker model such as /model2/proxy_trailer_overweight.pmd to make sure your bridge is not too low to adjacent road pieces

In our example, we have trees clipping through the bridge models.
- Go to the road item properties dialog box (of the problematic road piece's terrain) and click
Add veg. sphere.
- Modify the properties to adjust for size and position and set to
No Vegetation to clean up the area

Use a few tools such as, brush and vertex tool to round off terrain into bridge models to develop the look you are going for

Tunnels
Tunnels are exactly like bridges, but in reverse and hopefully not floating in the sky!
